A decade ago, 2,550,201 state voters said so, approving a constitutional amendment limiting the number of students who can be jammed into a single class. No more than 25 kids can be assigned to a high school class offering a core course. Plainly, that’s the kind of teacher-to-student ratio that Floridians expect in their public school system. I’m guessing they might not be thrilled by a ratio of 275 to 1. Of course, the public wasn’t supposed to find out. The state’s over-packed classes are of the virtual kind, administered by distant, unseen teachers employed by K12, the for-profit contractor that provides online classes for public school districts in 43 Florida counties, including Miami-Dade and Broward.
